2.2.1. Crash behavior

The BMW X1 features a stable passenger compartment that provides the occupants with the highestpossible level of safety in the event of a collision. This good crash behavior is achieved in particular byusing maximum strength steels in the pillar and node structures.

In the event of head-on collisions, side member structures that fold in a specific manner ensure thatthe crash energy is dissipated as evenly as possible. In the event of a head-on collision with minimaloverlap, specially designed cross member structures ensure that the acting forces are also transferredto the side of the vehicle opposite the impact.

Part of designing these structural features was to optimally coordinate the restraint system with thevehicle. In addition to front airbags for the driver and front passenger, the BMW X1 is equipped with adeformable steering column and belt tensioners with force limiters.

There is only a very short crumple zone for side collisions. To achieve a low occupant load, partic-ular attention must be paid to the lowest possible penetration depth. A major contribution to this ismade by the B-pillar designed from maximum strength sheet metal in combination with the doors thatfeature impact members which effectively reduce penetration of the doors into the interior. The sidestructure is achieved by optimally distributing the acting forces to the various load paths such as theA-pillar or the instrument panel cross member.

The rear deformation area is formed by two support profiles running longitudinally, the luggage com-partment floor, the rear trim panel, the rear side panels integrated into the side frame and various rein-forcements.

2.3. Exterior

2.3.1. Front/rear system

The front end meets the high requirements for pedestrian protection by providing corresponding de-formation spaces under the engine compartment lid as well as yielding hinge kinematics.

The rear bumper comes standard with attachment points for two towing lugs or the fixture for a bicyclecarrier available as an accessory.

The difference between the front and rear bumpers as well as the sill trim in the basic version and theX-line package is the painted individual parts. The individual part in the rear bumper is larger than inthe basic version, and two painted individual parts are added in the sill trim. The individual parts usedin the bumpers of the basic version are not painted but are made from silver-color material.

The innovative design of the heated rear window and the integration of an FM and AM antenna func-tion make it possible to completely eliminate a rod antenna or roof fin in the base.

For a detailed description of the rear window, refer to the Entertainment “Rod-free antenna systemWING” Section.

2.3.2. Engine compartment

BMW X1 xDrive28i with the N20B20O0 was chosen as an example for illustrating the engine compart-ment.

2.3.3. Doors

The doors meet the more stringent side impact requirements in the USA. Additional side reinforce-ment, including in the front doors, prevents the doors from opening during impact. The rear doors are

also equipped with an additional strut, which is already being used in other model series.A “crash pad” in the door trim panel in the form of integrated ribs reduces the occupant load in thechest area by moving the pelvis up early on. These measures are important for the 5* Euro NCAP rat-ing.




11

Door trim panel

The door trim panel has the following features:

• Storage offered in the door (cup holders)• An integrated crash pad and a flexible attachment system have been incorporated into the trim

panel• The new design line in the interior is accented by the color and material separation between

the top end moulding and the body of the door.• The two-tone scheme from the cockpit continues throughout the entire interior towards the

rear.

2.4. Interior

2.4.1. Front seats

The BMW X1 is offered with basic seats and sports seats. Both versions are also available with electri-cally adjustable functions. The side airbag is integrated in the front seats. What is new is that the stan-dard seat height adjustment in the basic version also allows the front passenger to optimally adjust theseat position. Widening the head restraints underscores the X-character of the seats.

2.4.2. Rear seats

The rear seat is designed for three people. The three-part, foldable rear seat backrest is separated at aratio of 40:20:40. The right backrest part and the center backrest part can be folded down individually.The left backrest part is coupled with the center backrest part and cannot be folded separately.

All backrest parts can be adjusted in eleven stages at angles between 1° and 31°. This makes it possi-ble to achieve a particularly comfortable seat position as well as provides a cargo position for the trans-port of larger objects.

The center backrest can be folded down separately thus creating a large through-loading openingwhile at the same time permitting the outer seats to be used.

2.4.3. Panorama glass roof

In comparison to a conventional slide/tilt sunroof, the panorama glass roof with its enlarged glass sur-face makes a positive contribution to the vehicle's interior appearance and sense of space. A two-sec-

tion electrically movable sliding trim enlarges the glass portion. The electrically movable sliding trimand the resulting elimination of the handle recess have an additional positive effect on the appearanceof the interior. The electrically movable sliding trim now appears as a homogenous area in the interiordesign.




18

Panorama glass roof

The panorama glass roof is a slide/tilt sunroof system running on the inside with a fixed rear glass roof.The front glass roof and the sliding trim can be moved electrically and are controlled via a switch in theroof function center.

For further information on the panorama glass roof, refer to the Owner's Manual for the BMW X1 vehi-cle, as well as the product information for the BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon.

2.4.4. Luggage compartment

The luggage compartment volume is approx. 410 l in normal position (25°) and, depending on the po-sition of the rear seat system, up to 480 l in the cargo position (1°).

3.1. Engine versions

With the special engine versions that are also being offered for the BMW X1, the BMW Group wantsto ensure and expand its leading position with respect to dynamics at reduced consumption and im-proved operating efficiency.

For the market introduction, the following engine versions will be offered:

Model Engine Transmission

BMW X1 sDrive28i AT N20B20O0 GA8HP45ZBMW X1 xDrive28i AT N20B20O0 GA8HP45ZBMW X1 xDrive35i AT N55B30M0 GA6HP19TU

3.1.1. Engine N20

The engine has the following features in the BMW X1:

• N20 performance is comparable to the N52 six cylinder• Less weight N20 = 324 lbs, N52 = 354 lbs• Better fuel economy and lower emissions than N52• TVDI (Turbo Valvetronic Direct Injection)• 3rd generation Valvetronic with new intermediate levers

• Map controlled (pendulum-slide) oil pump• TwinScroll exhaust turbocharger• Positive crankshaft offset• High-pressure injection (HDE) with solenoid valve injectors (as N55)

3.1.2. Engine N55

The adaptations of the 6-cylinder gasoline engine to the installation space of the BMW X1 are relative-ly minor.

Here is a list of the major features:

• One exhaust manifold with catalytic converter near the engine, for cylinder groups 1-3 and 4-6with stainless steel exhaust system

• TwinScroll exhaust turbocharger

• TVDI (Turbo Valvetronic Direct Injection)• Map controlled (Duroplast-slide valve) oil pump• High-pressure injection (HDE) with solenoid valve injectors




22

3.2. Transfer case

The transfer case is described in Chassis Section.

3.3. Automatic transmission

3.3.1. GA6HP19TU

The 6HP19TU automatic transmission is installed in the xDrive35i in combination with the N55 engine.The 6-speed automatic transmission 6HP19, clearly improved gearshift dynamics are achieved withthis technical revision. In addition, a more stable regulation of the converter lockup clutch leads to im-proved shifting comfort, in particular at low temperatures. This contributes to consumption reduction.

Note: Because the 6HP19TU automatic transmission is not designed to perform the MSAfunction the Auto Stop Start feature is not available on the xDrive35i.

3.3.2. GA8HP45Z

The GA8HP45Z is installed in both the sDrive28i and the xDrive28i in combination with the N20 en-gine. The transmission family GA8HP refers to the GA8HP45Z eight forward gears and one reversegear. This transmission is built by ZF and its rated to 450 Nm of maximum torque

The GA8HP45Z is a new development which gradually superseded the established GA6HP19ZTU 6-speed automatic transmissions.

Highlights when compared to the GA6HP transmission:• Significantly enhanced spontaneity of the gears shifts• Greater driving and shifting comfort as a result of smaller gear jumps• Higher control precision of the converter lock-up clutch at low engine loads• High power transmission of the converter lock-up clutch• Reduced fuel consumption (-5 to -6%)• Equipped with a hydraulic pressure accumulator to perform the MSA function

For more information regarding the GA8HP45Z automatic transmission refer to the ST1106F25 Complete Vehicle training material available on ICP and TIS. And for additional infor-mation regarding the MSA function refer to the ST1113 F30 Complete Vehicle “Powertrain”training material available on TIS and ICP.

3.3.3. Automatic engine start-stop function

With the market introduction of the E84 the automatic engine start-stop function MSA is installed asstandard, with the exception of the BMW X1 xDrive35i, as MSA is only available in all models with a 8-speed automatic gearbox (GA8HP).




23

Automatic transmission (GA8HP)

The automatic engine start-stop function switches off the engine when the vehicle is brought to astandstill, the selector lever remains in the D position, and the driver presses the brake pedal to holdthe vehicle at a standstill. This means that the car does not use any fuel when it is at a standstill. Whenthe driver releases the brake pedal again, the engine is automatically restarted and the driver can con-tinue driving.

Alternatively, the driver can move the selector lever from the "D" to the "P" position and release thebrake pedal. The engine remains switched off. The engine is automatically started as soon as the driv-er moves the selector lever to the D position.

The operating logic of the automatic engine start-stop function for vehicles with automatic transmis-sion is known from the F30.

3.3.4. ECO PRO modeECO PRO mode is standard equipment in all BMW X1 models

E84 driver assistance system operating facility

Index Explanation

1 ECO PRO button

The ECO PRO mode supports the driver in adopting a consumption-optimized driving style and re-duces fuel consumption through intelligent control of energy and A/C management.




24

Essentially the following measures help to reduce fuel consumption:

• The driver is supported in adopting an optimized-consumption driving style by means of analteration of the accelerator pedal characteristic and the shift program in automatic transmis-sions.

• The heating and air-conditioning system (IHKA) is placed in ECO PRO mode. Here the A/C system operates at reduced air drying and cooling. If the required temperature can beachieved without cold production, the A/C compressor is switched off. During heating modethe engine operating mode with increased heat dissipation is to the greatest possible extentdispensed with and the electric auxiliary heater is operated at lower power.

• The driver is prompted by various displays to adopt an optimized-consumption driving styleand is supported in optimizing their driving style.

Depending on the driving style consumption savings of up to 15 % or an average of 8 % can be

achieved by these measures.Upon activation of ECO PRO mode the automatic engine start-stop function MSA only used in thesDrive28i and xDrive28i is activated unless it has been manually deactivated beforehand.

3.4. Final driveThe main goal during the development of the final drive for the BMW 1 Series and BMW 3 Seriesand now also for the BMW X1 was a considerable improvement in efficiency that will lead to a corre-sponding consumption reduction in the vehicle. This lead to a new final drive generation called “L axledrive” (L = friction-optimized).

3.4.1. Rear axle final drive

For the first time, double helical ball bearings are used in the rear axle final drives, thus significantly re-ducing the operating temperature, which has a positive effect on function and service life. At the sametime, oil flow losses are reduced considerably. The gearing was also adapted to the modified displace-ment behavior as well as optimized with regard to efficiency.

In addition, the torque capacity of the rear axle final drives HAG168L and HAG188L was increased by10%. For acoustic reasons, the housing of the rear axle final drive is still designed as a spheroidal castpart.

With regard to the improved consumption concept of the driving performance dynamics, a specificallydeveloped rear axle final drive hypoid gear set is available for each engine/gearbox combination. Duringthe design of the hypoid gear sets, particular attention was paid to achieving the vehicle acoustics ob- jectives.

3.4.2. Front axle differential

Reducing the power loss was also an important goal during the development of the front axle differ-entials, coupled with the specification to reduce fuel consumption and weight differences betweenrear wheel and four-wheel drive to a minimum. In order to be able to use common parts, identical angu-lar-contact ball bearings are used as in the rear axle final drive with the same positive result.




26

3.5. Output shafts, front axle

The front output shafts transfer the torque to the front wheels. The movement of the assemblies (en-gine/ transmission, bearings, rear axle) along with the spring travel of the wheels and angle changesin the drivetrain must be balanced out during this process. The front output shafts in an xDrive vehi-cle must take up large deflection angles caused by the steering angle at the wheel hubs. The outputshafts must also be capable of transferring the maximum torque applied to them.

Up till now, output shaft journals with longitudinal splines have been used for the axle to wheel hubconnection. This connection is made by machining spur gears on both the axle and the wheel hubmating surfaces. When these components are then torqued to specifications the result is comparableto the conventional spline method. This system (first introduced in the US with the F25 X3) simplifiesthe installation of the drivetrain at the assembly plant and reduces manufacturing costs.

31

In the sDrive28i with the standard rear wheel drive, a double-pivot spring strut front axle that is madeof aluminium and fitted with trailing links. This design of the front axle is identical to that used in theBMW 1 Series and 3 Series. The aluminium material of trailing arms and swivel bearings (forged) re-duce the unsprung masses. The aluminium front axle support (forged from various individual parts) al-so reduces the front axle load and thus permits a more favorable weight distribution while at the sametime providing optimum stiffness of the front end. The height adjustment of the BMW X1 with respectto the BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon is implemented by a modification to the swivel bearing.

The most important data of the BMW X1 front axle is compiled in the following table.

A five-link rear axle HA5 as known from the E8x and E9x is installed. This design features a particularlyprecise wheel control and offers excellent dynamic properties with regard to the following:

• Directional stability

• Load reversal behavior

• Self-steering response

• Lane change stability

• Transition behavior from cornering to straight-running stability (steering)

The HA5 in the BMW X1 offers very good tire comfort due to a double-elastic mounts and a large sup-port base of the rear axle. Furthermore, the design principle of the HA5 does not require a lot of instal-lation space and has a low weight.

The five-link rear axle is mainly derived from a twin control arm rear axle with the track rod located inthe rear, whereby the upper and lower A-arms were replaced by two individual arms each. The advan-tage of this is that, regardless of the installation space situation, it is possible to freely specify the ef-




36

fective virtual kinematics point. The result of this design coordination is elasto-kinematics propertiesthat permit exact wheel control across significant spring travel, which is required for the desired drivingproperties. In addition, due to small lever arms, the rear axle barely reacts to interferences.

The large support base for toe and camber on the wheel carrier side and the extremely torsionally rigidtrailing arms, as well as the stiff rear axle support and the connection to the body by means of com-pression struts ensure highly precise wheel control. This is the prerequisite for agile overall coordina-tion of the BMW X1. The use of high-torque engines as well as the use of run flat tires were taken intoconsideration by the large rear axle support base; this concept is very important both for driving prop-erties as well as for good acoustic insulation.

Many of the rear axle components of the BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon are being adopted for the BMWX1. Only the hub carrier and the upper wishbone were redesigned for the height adjustment necessaryin the BMW X1. For the rear axle support, only the rear crossbridge with the connection for camber linkand toe link had to be redesigned; the remaining components are identical to the rear axle support inthe BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon.

The HA5 provides the best prerequisites for the particularly space-saving rear concept (location of rearseat position, fuel tank, and luggage compartment). Thus, a comparably large through-loading widthas well as ample leg room can be achieved in the rear.

4.1.4. Steering systems

Depending on the model and equipment, the following different steering systems are used in theBMW X1:

• Electric power steering with the parallel arrangement of the electric motor (sDrive28i only)without Servotronic

• Hydraulic steering with an 18.5 steering ratio• Servotronic (SA216), available only for hydraulic steering

The EPS in the BMW X1 makes a major contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions due to the de-mand-oriented control of the assisted torque.

Electric power steering EPS is only offered in the sDrive28i rear wheel drive version.

The xDrive models for all other markets are offered with the hydraulic steering system adopted fromthe E8x and E9x.

Servotronic (SA216) is standard on the xDrive35i and available as an option on the xDrive28i.

4.1.5. Brakes

The BMW X1 is equipped with floating calliper brakes. The top model xDrive28i is the only model thathas a floating calliper brake in the frame construction at the front axle. All brake discs are ventilated.

4.1.6. Suspension/damping

The BMW X1 is only offered with conventional spring struts at the front and rear axle.

4.1.7. Wheels

The sDrive28i and xDrive28i are equipped with the ZRF Run-flat tires package as standard. The ZRFRun-flat tires package consists of tires with emergency running properties, 17 inch standard wheelsand the Extended Hump 2+ EH2+ rims, as well as the Run Flat Indicator.

The xDrive35i is standard equipped with 18 inch but 19 inch wheels are available as optional equip-ment.

This ZRF Run-flat tires package consists of the following:

• RSC tires with emergency running properties on an EH2+ rim• Tire pressure monitor• Elimination of spare wheel• Elimination of jack

4.2. Driving stability control systems

4.2.1. Dynamic Stability Control DSC

The familiar DSC Bosch 8+ is used in the BMW X1. It has to be observed here in particular that theDSC control unit in a BMW X1 with rear wheel drive is not identical to a DSC control unit from theBMW X1 with xDrive. The coordination of the DSC/DTC mode varies in the two different engine ver-sions.

The DSC sensor cluster is located below the left seat and consists of a longitudinal, transverse, andyaw rate sensor.

• Note: The table on the following page describes the acronyms.

The purpose of the table is to illustrate the functions of the driving stability control systems. The func-tional capability with regard to DSC/DTC for the BMW X1 xDrive was adopted from the BMW 3 SeriesxDrive and for the BMW X1 sDrive from the BMW Z4 sDrive and expanded for both with the tilt stabi-

lization logic system from the BMW X5 due to the higher position of the center of gravity.For the 6-cylinder models, the additional functions such as drive-off assistant, fading compensation,brake standby, and drying by applying brake are already available in the standard equipment.

As with F25 the BMW X1 xDrive models are also offered with the (optional) 2VG Performance Controlfunction (dynamic brake intervention), refer to Section 4.2.3 for more information. The DSC 8+ with itspulse-width-modulated activation for the analogue separator and intake valves allows for an analoguevalve characteristic, which permits sensitive pressure control. As a result, higher control comfort in allDSC functions as well as in the optional equipment Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) is achieved.

New features in the xDrive

A combination of actuator and xDrive control unit is directly installed on the transfer case of the BMWX1. The control unit is now referred to as "transfer case".




43

In comparison to the previous one (ATC 300), the new transfer case (ATC 350) features a spur gearunit which makes better use of the installation space. While previous transfer boxes used to have a"coding and service resistor", it has been eliminated in the new transfer boxes. The compensation of the production tolerances in the transfer case which was previously achieved by the coding resistor isnow accomplished via an internal classification that can also be found on the type plate.

The separate oil pump in the transfer case has also been eliminated, which leads to an improvement inefficiency. Adequate lubrication and cooling of the transfer case components is achieved through anoil supply function of the power transmission system (spur gear unit). The transformation of the radialmovement into an axial movement in order to operate the multi-disc clutch has changed slightly.

4.2.3. Performance Control

The customer can order the "2VG performance control" optional equipment for the BMW X1 as partof the ZMP M Sport Package (xDrive vehicles only). Already known from F25 X3, this DSC functionfor the xDrive in the BMW X1 is a dynamic intervention function that can be neither switched on or off.The principle for enhancing the agility of the xDrive vehicle is similar to the Dynamic Performance Con-trol function in the BMW X6. Variable torque distribution on the rear axle is achieved here by the dy-namic performance control. During performance control, the inner cornering rear wheel is braked dur-ing sporty driving and the generated braking torque is at the same time compensated through an in-tervention in the engine load control system. This generates a driving torque that reduces the steeringangle and the tendency of an xDrive vehicle to understeer.




47

In order to avoid increased brake wear, the function is switched back in stages between speeds of 60 Km/h (37 mph) and 120 km/h (75 mph) and at speeds of 120 km/h (75 mph) and higher this agilityfunction is no longer used.

Understeering

In an understeering driving situation, xDrive shifts more drive torque to the rear axle as the understeer-ing tendency increases. This allows the front axle to build up more traction which reduces understeer-ing.

At the same time the Performance Control (SA 2VG) ensures(through braking intervention at theinner rear cornering wheel and by increasing the drive torque of the engine) that the vehicleadopts a neutral drivability without slowing it down.

48

Oversteering

In an oversteering driving situation, xDrive distributes the drive torque so that the load on the rear axleis reduced as much as possible.At the same time, the DSC ensures(through additional brake intervention at the outer rear wheelduring cornering) that the vehicle is quickly stabilized and that neutral drivability is restored.

49

4.2.4. Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC)

The extension of the conventional speed control by a comfortable brake intervention known from theBMW 3 Series leads to an extended application range with the following new operation options:

• With the help of an "electronically controlled brake actuation" ECBA interface to the DSC, thevehicle speed is reduced in a considerably more dynamic manner via a brake intervention

• In the application range from 30 km/h (18 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph), certain "hand throttlefunctions" are possible on the operating lever.

The noteworthy features of the vehicle circuit structure are listed below:

• The multi-section customer-specific wiring harness, multi-section wiring harness for cockpit

• The use of fiber-optic in the MOST bus

• The alternator line is installed on the underbody

With the customer-specific wiring harness, it is still possible (in some markets) to retrofit additionalfunctions such as a telephone. By avoiding unnecessary interfaces and the implementation of a cus-tomer-specific wiring harness, an optimal product is created with regard to quality and weight.

5.1.3. Energy management

5.1.7. Driver assist systems

Rearview cameraThe rearview camera system is installed in the tailgate to the right next to the tailgate lock and issealed with a rubber seal towards the tailgate.

Rearview camera

Index Explanation

1 Rearview camera

The rearview camera is activated automatically together with the Park Distance Control (PDC) by en-gaging the reverse gear or manually by operating the button in the driver assist systems controls.

In the Central Information Display (CID), the wide angle color image of the surroundings directly behindthe vehicle is shown. The graphic images show the pre-calculated space needed for parking and ma-neuvering relative to the current steering wheel position and assist the driver during parking.

The color obstacle marks in the camera image help the driver (in addition to the PDC warning sound)to pay attention to the obstacles during parking and maneuvering.

For further information, refer to the rearview camera in the BMW X5 E70 training material available onTIS and ICP.

Daytime driving lights

The BMW X1 is equipped with the typical BMW daytime driving lights that are integrated in the coronarings. The BMW X1 therefore meets the daytime driving lights requirements in all markets.

The daytime driving lights function is activated as standard when the vehicle is delivered and is imple-mented with an H8 bulb.




61

Daytime driving lights

Adaptive headlights

The adaptive headlights adjust their dynamics to the particular driving situation depending on thespeed. On country roads at speeds from 60 to 100 km/h (37 to 62 mph), the headlights provide op-timum curve area illumination and directly follow the driving dynamics of the vehicle. At interstatespeeds, the control reduces the dynamic portions again, since continuous guidance and direction of movement are required.

For further information, refer to the product information for the adaptive headlights in the current BMW5 Series and in the BMW X1 Owner's Manual.

High beam assistant

As with the E8x and E9x Series vehicles, the high beam assistant is activated via the stalk on the steer-ing column.

For further information, refer to the product information for the high beam assistant in the BMW 5 Se-ries and in the BMW X1 Owner's Manual.




63

A detailed description of the main menu and the selection of the individual functions are outlined in theBMW X1 Owner's Manual.

Furthermore, you can find a detailed description of the system in the F01 Audio System training mate-rial available on TIS and ICP.

5.2.2. Entertainment

Rod-free antenna system “WING”

Due to the rear window layout “WING” patented by BMW, it is possible to omit the rod antenna. Thislayout was introduced for the first time in the BMW X3 (F25). The FM antennas are created from thesemi-circular heating zone that follows the rear wiper. The medium wave antenna consists of the winglayout to the left in the direction of travel. Other services such as FBD are accommodated in the rightwing.

Due to the completely new arrangement into semi-circular heating conductors and the right and left“WINGS,” an adequately large area can be gained for the critical medium wave antenna. This layoutcan also ensure a good defrosting and view out the rear window even for small rear windows as in theBMW X1. At the same time, this arrangement produces a powerful medium wave antenna.

The antenna amplifier is centrally located, whereby additional filters are installed for the integration of the medium wave antenna in the wing layout.

Speaker and amplifier

The speakers and amplifiers in the BMW X1 are identical to those in the BMW 1 Series. An electro-dy-namic planar speaker is used additionally as a central speaker in the instrument panel of the BMW X1,which is installed in the roofliner as in the BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon.

The two bass speakers are positioned under the front seats, thus allowing an even bass sound in theentire vehicle. The required housing volume is achieved as in the BMW 1 Series by connecting thebass speakers to the side sills.




65

Audio systems

The following three audio systems are offered:

HiFi Sound System

Eight speakers are used in the HiFi sound system. The two bass speakers that are considerably morepowerful compared to a basic stereo system are the core element here. The goal of the HiFi soundsystem is to evenly distribute the sound to all seats. In the front doors, tweeters are added to the sys-tem. As a result, the tweeter range output is greatly improved. Due to the external HiFi amplifier, thebass speakers can be activated independently of the front mid-range speakers through two 40 Woutput stages. The activation and increased number of available filters allow significantly more linearequalizing than is possible with this system.

HiFi Sound System Professional Logic 7

The Harman Kardon HiFi System Professional Logic 7 (SA 688) is further optimized compared to thestandard system. The (11 speaker) HiFi system allows the output of surround information included inthe stereo signal in 5.2 format while using surround algorithm Logic 7. With the planar speaker (cen-




66

ter speaker), the sound pattern can thus be centered in the middle of the instrument panel. The ex-perience is like sitting directly in front of an orchestra. The mid-range speakers and tweeters with alu-minium membranes that were further improved compared to the HiFi system provide a significantlymore differentiated sound pattern. The influence of driving noise is compensated by speed-depen-dent equalizing in small stages in the low-frequency range.
